About this tag
Enterprise AI on WindowsForum.com covers the practical realities of deploying AI in large organizations, from vendor revenue reports and hiring trends to model comparisons and infrastructure gaps. Recent discussions highlight how Palantir, Microsoft, AWS, and Oracle are positioning AI offerings, the growing role of forward-deployed engineers, and the need for independent benchmarks as frontier models proliferate. Threads also examine specific enterprise deployments like Manulife's Microsoft 365 Copilot rollout, Azure HorizonDB's limitations for production workloads, and the cost implications of open-weight models. The tag focuses on what IT teams must consider when adopting AI: data control, security, governance, and the gap between vendor announcements and actual production readiness.

    Enterprise AI: Data Residency Won’t End Provider Dependence
